CARBONARA PASTA

Hey everyone,
This recipe is how to make Carbonara pasta, mainly focussing on the sauce portion because pasta is pretty basic and I'm sure everyone knows how to make that bit.

Ingredients:
Pinenuts
Mushrooms
Shallots
Cream
Milk
Butter
Pasta

STEP ONE

PASTA

The first thing your going to want to do it start boiling your pasta so that it is ready for when you finish your sauce. Just heat some water and cooking salt in a saucepan on the stove and place your pasta in, stirring it every once in a while so all of the pasta is evenly cooked.

STEP TWO

FRY

The next step is frying your ingredients. Start of with the pine nuts, quickly frying them on each side because they burn easily. Next remove your pine nuts from the pan and fry your mushrooms. Lastly, in a seperate frying pan, fry your shallots.

STEP THREE

COMBINE

Now you can add your pine nuts and mushrooms back into the drying pan as well as your cream, butter and milk. Once the sauce thickens, you can then mix in your shallots.

It's a super easy pasta sauce but it tastes delicious and is a change from normal tomato based pasta sauce. I hope you enjoyed this recipe! Another pasta sauce is coming soon so watch out for it.
